Note!
Ensure the body does not fall to the floor after its removal. To avoid scratches
and damage to the graphics, do not store by stacking the bodies on top of
each other.
Note!
Do not unclip the body from just one side and then twist the body to one side
to gain access to the chassis. This will cause premature failure of the body
which is not covered by the guarantee.
The model contains the following components:
The Drive Motor and Gearbox.
The Receiver
The Battery
The Hitch Ramp
2.24 The Drive Motor & Gearbox
The model is propelled by a
custom designed motor and
gearbox. The motor is of the
ironless core rotor type. This
type of motor is very efficient,
using very little current for a
given output. All of the shafts
and gears in the gearbox are
carried on ball races. These
features give the model
exceptional running time on a
battery charge. Only one of
the rear wheels is driven. The
other being carried on a ball
raced lay shaft. This
arrangement reduces drag when cornering which again reduces battery drain.
Reduced current consumption prolongs battery life and therefore reduces the
management time required by the attraction. The whole gearbox is carried on
a pivoting plate to keep the drive wheel in contact with the ground. The rear
wheels are retained by a locknut and collet system. This provides secure
mounting for the wheels whilst being easy to remove without damage to the
axles for service. The free wheel also carries a speed sensor. This is used to
control the reduced speed in reverse. This feature is incorporated to give the
driver more time to react to the model when reversing with a trailer. The speed
feedback system varies the power supplied to the motor in order to keep the
reversing speed constant under varying terrain and load conditions.
